To Kill a Mockingbird - worth buying?

I'm a little hesitant these days to purchase anything Universal, but the price seems pretty good for this title. It appears to be OAR and includes a commentary track and featurette. Bottom Line: Is this the most definitive version we are likely to get and is it worth picking up?

Only if you want to see a movie about character and integrity.
Only if you want to see a one of the best movies ever filmed.
And only if you want to see one of the legendary Robert Duvall's earliest performances and I believe film debut.

Just to go a little OT, I was very interested in the feature on the Williamsburg movie restoration. Although I have never seen this particular one, I have long had a fascination with the fate of movies shot for musuems and other settings like the 1964 New York World's Fair. Two that come to mind are the original film shown at the Franklin Court musuem in Philadelphia which had Howard Da Silva reprising his "1776" role as Franklin, and the Billy Graham movie "Man In The Fifth Dimension" shot in Todd A-0 70mm and shown at the World's Fair in 1964 and 1965.

I hope the work on the Williamsburg movie will heighten the awareness of what other historical legacies in filmmaking need to be rescued before it's too late.

Certainly worth it. Sometimes we see non-anamorphic and imagine something horrible. I think that if a good percentage of this forum looked at the movie in anamorphic and then in letterbox they wouldn't see much difference as far as quality is concerned. Obviously though it is a convenience issue for 16:9 TV owners.

In all seriousness, though, I normally never recommend widescreen titles that are not anamorphically enhanced since I myself am a snobby owner of a 16x9 display. However, this disc is one of the few exceptions that I have made to that rule. The transfer is very nice, and I highly recommend disc to those who love the film.
